Looks like a Leinster E class. Nice red livery too. Is that a Biblical name ? Exodus 15:27 springs to mind…

Tell him/her you are studying probability - the likelihood of an RTR CBSC 6w coach is……. -
They are not cheap but many UK modellers say they are the best. The detail is very good.

They are. The website is undergoing a rebuild. @leslie10646will doubtless know more !

It’s a quick fix for small scale modelling but unpicking your work if unhappy with it may be problematic. Using solder allows for ‘tacking’ pieces in place with small solder joints to check the fit before soldering solid. The chassis is not something to be scared of. Get one of these and it will keep you square: http://www.poppyswoodtech.co.uk/tools.html

Looks really good. Very neat soldering - can’t see any stray solder! Or have you gone down the superglue route?
-
Excellent. Take it slowly, clean the joint areas well, use lots of flux and a hot iron, and you’ll be fine - and show us what you are up to!!

Brass (or nickel silver ) is also much more tolerant of reworking and general fettling. Don’t ask me how I know!

And obviously fans of the best CIE livery ever

Might be worth checking the back to back as a first step. Gold standard fix is some kind of flexi chassis as identified above, but flangeless wheels are an easy fix. 6 w coaches can be curious beasts and and require a bit of fettling to get round the track…

Knew this reminded me of something. It’s very like a Lambton Tank - also produced by Kitson- albeit with a much better cab.

Looks like an ex-DSE one. Can’t imagine where that came from

British locos and stock that can be disguised as Irish
Galteemore replied to Westcorkrailway's topic in Irish Models
The Pullmans had standard Pullman design bogies, apparently constructed by the LMS , who presumably had more experience than most UK concerns in building 5’3” bogie stock….. -
A handsome and interesting engine. Found to be too heavy so was rebuilt as an 0-6-0 tender engine. Lasted until 1950. Looking into this topic shows that the often overlooked DWWR/DSER had some lovely designs, and some particularly charming small tanks.

Murphy was an interesting character himself. I knew about his press and political career, but not his railway work….https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Martin_Murphy

indeed he does Leslie. And adds that the loco was sold to W M Murphy, contractor.

Withdrawn 1891. Incidentally, E L Ahrons describes it as being painted ‘an ugly red’ when it got the stovepipe chimney.

Possibly…..would need to check wheel dia and spacing etc….
